Painted on fragile papyri disinterred from Egypt’s sands and imprinted on clay tablets unearthed from Mesopotamia’s wastes are the world’s oldest love poems, dating back 3,500 years and more. These records testify not only to erot- ic passion, but also to the impulse to articulate that passion in written form. I am your first love, I am your garden, scented with spices, fragrant with flowers. Deep runs my channel, smoothed by your tillage, cooled by the North Wind, filled by the Nile.* So wrote an Egyptian scribe in ancient days, even as a Mesopo- tamian poet wrote the words that follow: Squeeze yourself into me as the hand presses flour into an open cup. Pound yourself into me as the fist rams flour into a cup craving to be filled** Such poems teach us that erotic passion has been an intrinsic component of human nature from civilization’s beginnings. Yet while love is spontaneous and free, poetry is, by definition, formal and structurally disciplined. While passion is personal and * Translated by Stephen Bertman. From Stephen Bertman, Doorways through Time: The Romance of Archaeology (Los Angeles and New York: Tarcher/Putnam, 1986). ** Translated by Stephen Bertman. From Stephen Bertman, Handbook to Life in Ancient Mesopotamia (New York: Facts On File, 2003). xv individualistic, literature is bound by tradition and convention. Love and passion are natural and driven by emotion; literature and poetry, artificial and constrained by reason. How then can we account for the paradoxical marriage of love and poetry, for this age-old wedding of opposites? First and foremost, love poems are expressions of feelings, but feelings can be chaotic unless they are given form. Such form en- dows feelings with a structure and compression they would oth- erwise lack. Their structure makes them more intelligible; their compression lends them power. If a poem, then, is like a well-wrapped package, to whom is it sent? Surely, to the person the poet loves (or has come to hate); to other sympathetic listeners if the object of the poet’s desire will not accept delivery; or even to the poet himself to make life more livable by externalizing frustration and the pain of rejec- tion through the vehicle of the written word. Indeed, through the very act of literary composition, the poet can compose emotions, and in the process gain rational perspective and a renewed sense of erotic direction. The writing of poetry can thus help make a poet’s world make more sense, or at least make it bearable. As a thing of beauty, a poem may also celebrate erotic plea- sure found, lost, or longed for. Here, form becomes the servant of art, transmuting otherwise ordinary words into noble statements and bestowing the possibility of permanence on what might oth- erwise be only transitory and forgotten. It is sculpted form, not inchoate feeling, that gives ultimate satisfaction to poets, and it is form as much as content that has enabled their ancient poems to transcend the millennia and reach our own day, granting them an immortality that life itself withheld. As the Biblical Song of Songs declares: “Love is as strong as death”—or at least, we may add, as long as love is enshrined in verse. Yet, if love poetry took root at civilization’s inception, it did not flower until many centuries later. This is in large part due to the evolution of literacy itself. Though writing was invented in the ancient Near East, the types of writing that developed there— hieroglyphic and cuneiform—were highly complex systems con- sisting of hundreds upon hundreds of separate characters. Com- xvi munication through writing thus became the prerogative of the learned few, and the written word was largely reserved for the formal prayers and archives of temple and palace, propagandistic inscriptions, and the calculating records of merchants. Compos- ing love poetry, and reading it, would have been a leisure activity limited to a highly educated and numerically small elite. Indeed, even the political structure of Egyptian and Mesopotamian so- ciety conspired against the popularity of love poetry, since the individual and the aspirations of the individual were regarded subservient to the theocratic state. For erotic poetry to flower, what was needed was the democratization of love: an ideological environment that celebrated the individual and a simplified writ- ing system that enabled such individuals to transcribe and read the personal messages of the human heart. This very environ- ment arose for the first time not in the Near East, but in Greece in the seventh century BCE, and its instrument was the alphabet, a Phoenician invention that the Greeks imported and adapted to their own humanistic, rather than theocratic, purposes.

  • Ibycus Pmgf 287: Love and Disgrace Ἔρος Αὖτέ Με Κυανέοισιν Ὑπὸ Βλεφάροις Τακέρ' Ὄµ
    IBYCUS PMGF 287: LOVE AND DISGRACE Ἔρος αὖτέ µε κυανέοισιν ὑπὸ βλεφάροις τακέρ’ ὄµµασι δερκόµενος κηλήµασι παντοδαποῖς ἐς ἄπει- ρα δίκτυα Κύπριδος ἐσβάλλει· 5 ἦ µὰν τροµέω νιν ἐπερχόµενον, ὥστε φερέζυγος ἵππος ἀεθλοφόρος ποτὶ γήρᾳ ἀέκων σὺν ὄχεσφι θοοῖς ἐς ἅµιλλαν ἔβα. Judging from the source which has preserved this fragment for us and from its overall structure, which I will analyze below, I believe that these lines of Ibycus constitute in all probability a complete poem1. This provides us the opportunity for a thorough interpretation and evaluation, an opportu- nity which has not, in my opinion, been adequately exploited by scholars so far. The intricacy and dexterity of Ibycus’ poetic art in this particular speci- men of his work has gone largely unnoticed. As will be seen by the ensuing analysis, there is not even a single word in these seven verses which has a superfluous or merely ornamental function; on the contrary, it is carefully chosen, put and invested with a particular significance that contributes ef- fectively to the production of the implicit meaning that the poet imparts to his creation. And this meaning mostly concerns the unavoidable danger of facing disgrace in one’s efforts of erotic conquest. The first remark to be made is that Ibycus’ poem is comprised by two distinct images, which are however implicitly linked2; an initial connection is established by the correlation between the phrase Ἔρος αὖτέ µε and the adjective φερέζυγος: the subjugation of the horse, which comes to represent the poetic persona that Ibycus here adopts, denotes precisely that the speaker is constantly under the influence of Eros, that he finds himself repeatedly falling in love.

  • The Nature of Hellenistic Domestic Sculpture in Its Cultural and Spatial Contexts
    THE NATURE OF HELLENISTIC DOMESTIC SCULPTURE IN ITS CULTURAL AND SPATIAL CONTEXTS DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Craig I. Hardiman, B.Comm., B.A., M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Dr. Mark D. Fullerton, Advisor Dr. Timothy J. McNiven _______________________________ Advisor Dr. Stephen V. Tracy Graduate Program in the History of Art Copyright by Craig I. Hardiman 2005 ABSTRACT This dissertation marks the first synthetic and contextual analysis of domestic sculpture for the whole of the Hellenistic period (323 BCE – 31 BCE). Prior to this study, Hellenistic domestic sculpture had been examined from a broadly literary perspective or had been the focus of smaller regional or site-specific studies. Rather than taking any one approach, this dissertation examines both the literary testimonia and the material record in order to develop as full a picture as possible for the location, function and meaning(s) of these pieces. The study begins with a reconsideration of the literary evidence. The testimonia deal chiefly with the residences of the Hellenistic kings and their conspicuous displays of wealth in the most public rooms in the home, namely courtyards and dining rooms. Following this, the material evidence from the Greek mainland and Asia Minor is considered. The general evidence supports the literary testimonia’s location for these sculptures. In addition, several individual examples offer insights into the sophistication of domestic decorative programs among the Greeks, something usually associated with the Romans.

  • Kretan Cult and Customs, Especially in the Classical and Hellenistic Periods: a Religious, Social, and Political Study
    i Kretan cult and customs, especially in the Classical and Hellenistic periods: a religious, social, and political study Thesis submitted for degree of MPhil Carolyn Schofield University College London ii Declaration I, Carolyn Schofield, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been acknowledged in the thesis. iii Abstract Ancient Krete perceived itself, and was perceived from outside, as rather different from the rest of Greece, particularly with respect to religion, social structure, and laws. The purpose of the thesis is to explore the bases for these perceptions and their accuracy. Krete’s self-perception is examined in the light of the account of Diodoros Siculus (Book 5, 64-80, allegedly based on Kretan sources), backed up by inscriptions and archaeology, while outside perceptions are derived mainly from other literary sources, including, inter alia, Homer, Strabo, Plato and Aristotle, Herodotos and Polybios; in both cases making reference also to the fragments and testimonia of ancient historians of Krete. While the main cult-epithets of Zeus on Krete – Diktaios, associated with pre-Greek inhabitants of eastern Krete, Idatas, associated with Dorian settlers, and Kretagenes, the symbol of the Hellenistic koinon - are almost unique to the island, those of Apollo are not, but there is good reason to believe that both Delphinios and Pythios originated on Krete, and evidence too that the Eleusinian Mysteries and Orphic and Dionysiac rites had much in common with early Kretan practice. The early institutionalization of pederasty, and the abduction of boys described by Ephoros, are unique to Krete, but the latter is distinct from rites of initiation to manhood, which continued later on Krete than elsewhere, and were associated with different gods.

  • Excerpts from Iliad Six (Hector Is the Oldest Son of Troy's King Priam, And
    EXCERPTS FROM HOMER Excerpts from Iliad Six (Hector is the oldest son of Troy’s King Priam, and the chief defender of the city. He leaves battle temporarily to return to the city.) Focus questions: 1. What are the main roles of women in this section – i.e., what are the actions of the Trojan women, Theano, Hecuba (the queen, Hector’s mother) and Andromache? 2. How do women’s roles support the survival of the city – or do they? 3. In what ways do women contribute to or detract from a man’s honor? 4. Hector and Andromache’s relationship is perfect in Greek terms – how do they relate to one another? What is the balance of “power”? What roles does each play in the family? Now when Hector reached the Scaean gates and the oak tree, the wives and daughters of the Trojans came running towards him to ask after their sons, brothers, kinsmen, and husbands: he told them to set about praying to the gods, and many were made sorrowful as they heard him. Presently he reached the splendid palace of King Priam, adorned with colonnades of hewn stone. In it there were fifty bedchambers- all of hewn stone- built near one another, where the sons of Priam slept, each with his wedded wife. Opposite these, on the other side the courtyard, there were twelve upper rooms also of hewn stone for Priam's daughters, built near one another, where his sons-in-law slept with their wives. When Hector got there, his fond mother came up to him with Laodice the fairest of her daughters.

    05_273-611_Homer 2/Aesop 7/10/00 1:25 PM Page 273 HOMER / The Odyssey, Book One 273 THE ODYSSEY Translated by Robert Fitzgerald The ten-year war waged by the Greeks against Troy, culminating in the overthrow of the city, is now itself ten years in the past. Helen, whose flight to Troy with the Trojan prince Paris had prompted the Greek expedition to seek revenge and reclaim her, is now home in Sparta, living harmoniously once more with her husband Meneláos (Menelaus). His brother Agamémnon, commander in chief of the Greek forces, was murdered on his return from the war by his wife and her paramour. Of the Greek chieftains who have survived both the war and the perilous homeward voyage, all have returned except Odysseus, the crafty and astute ruler of Ithaka (Ithaca), an island in the Ionian Sea off western Greece. Since he is presumed dead, suitors from Ithaka and other regions have overrun his house, paying court to his attractive wife Penélopê, endangering the position of his son, Telémakhos (Telemachus), corrupting many of the servants, and literally eating up Odysseus’ estate. Penélopê has stalled for time but is finding it increasingly difficult to deny the suitors’ demands that she marry one of them; Telémakhos, who is just approaching young manhood, is becom- ing actively resentful of the indignities suffered by his household. Many persons and places in the Odyssey are best known to readers by their Latinized names, such as Telemachus. The present translator has used forms (Telémakhos) closer to the Greek spelling and pronunciation.

  • THE CONTRAPOSITION BETWEEN EPOS and EPULLION in HELLENISTIC POETRY: STATUS QUAESTIONIS 1 José Antonio Clúa Serena
    Anuario de Estudios Filológicos, ISSN 0210-8178, vol. XXVII, 23-39 THE CONTRAPOSITION BETWEEN EPOS AND EPULLION IN HELLENISTIC POETRY: STATUS QUAESTIONIS 1 José Antonio Clúa Serena Universidad de Extremadura Resumen En este artículo se esbozan algunos de los hitos más importantes que configuran, desde Antímaco de Colofón hasta las últimas manifestaciones poéticas helenísticas y romanas, la contraposición entre el e[po~ y el ejpuvllion. Sobre este último «género», repleto de elemen- tos etiológicos y largas digresiones, se aportan y se comparan datos importantes mediante dos métodos conocidos: la Quellensforchung y la comparación entre seguidores de la escuela de Calímaco y los denominados Telquines. Se analizan epigramas concretos, epilios de Teócrito, Mosco, la Hécale de Calímaco, epilios de Trifiodoro, Hedilo, Museo, Euforión, Partenio, Poliano, así como de Cornelio Galo y Cinna. Finalmente, se estudia la dicotomía «agua»/«vino» como símbolos de inspiración y se ofrece una posible clave para focalizar el paso de dicha contraposición desde la literatura helenística griega a la romana. Palabras clave: Epos, epyllion, hellenistic poetry, Cantores Callimachi. Abstract This paper describes some highly important aspects than configure, from Aminachus of Colofos to the latest Hellenistic and Roman poetic pieces, the contraposition of the concepts e[po~ and ejpuvllion.
